Coaching with Neurodivergent individuals

Aims and Objectives

The course is intended to help you understand how to work as a coach with people who are diagnosed as neurodivergent or who appear to show traits associated with neurodivergence.

At the end of the course, you will

• Understand the typical strengths and difficulties associated with common neurotypes
• Understand what is important in your coaching work to meet the needs of neurodivergent individuals
• Know what wider support is available

The course consists of 3 X 3-hour online sessions spread over 5 months. This will allow you to reflect on your learning, read around the topic and discuss your learning from one session to the next. The course is intended to fit around work and home commitments.

The course will involve formal teaching inputs, exercises, case study material and some pre-reading. A suggested biography will be provided for background reading while you are on the programme. There will also be some reflective work between the sessions.

The course will be led by Jacqui Manning with support facilitation provided by Dr Adrian Myers.
